Despite being relatively new to the podcasting arena, Spotify, with the influence of around 140 million active users, swiftly rose to second place behind iTunes Podcasts as the most popular place podcasts are consumed. Spotify offers thousands of fantastic podcasts, and let users listen to them by using two main tiers provided by Spotify for individual: Free and Premium. While both plans let you access a giant library of streaming music or podcast, there are several major differences between them, among which the biggest one is that Spotify Free users are not allowed to save songs or podcasts to their devices for listening when they're offline. That’s a huge pain for those Free users who don't want to run up their mobile data bill or need to listen to podcast during an air travel for making the travel seem a little shorter.
Besides, the other downsides of streaming without Premium are that you must tolerate the ads in between tracks, rely on a random selection order to play music on Android, and can’t stream music or podcast with Extreme audio quality. There is little doubt that upgrading to Premium plan will remove all these limits. But what if you are a casual listener who doesn’t want to spend such an investment? Is it possible to download Spotify podcast without Premium?
